Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: This unit is designed for standard UK mounting boxes. Due to the double-pole electrical configuration, installation must be performed by a qualified electrician according to current IET wiring regulations. Ensure the main power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning work.
Compatibility: It fits standard single-gang back boxes. It is best suited for indoor use in kitchens, utility rooms, or workspaces where appliance isolation is required.
Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or acidic liquids, as these may scratch the finish or cause discoloration over time.
